Paul,

 

Credit for this part of my project goes to Al Parker, W8UT, whose article, "Electrolytic Filter Capacitor Rebuild," provided the info: http://www.wb4hfn.com/DrakeArticles/TechTips/FilterCapacitorRebuilding.htm

 

I used a hacksaw with a fine-toothed blade to carefully cut around the can near the base and access the innards. When I put it back together, I used a clear adhesive and even I can't tell that its been apart.

Hello,

 

I feel a bit like I did back in 1979 when I first got on the air. With the kind and knowledgeable assistance of many of you guys, I have restored my T-4XC.

 

In this project, I cleaned up the chassis, rebuilt a can capacitor, verified the power supply, cleaned all the wafer switches, replaced a couple components and tubes, and aligned and adjusted everything.

 

This evening I got it on the air, and had a blast making a few contacts, though I did not hear anybody working the Classic Exchange contest. One gentleman heard me discussing my need for a replacement meter shunt resistor and said he would send me one in tomorrow's mail. Another gentleman from our Drakelist is sending me a knob to replace the one that snapped in half.

 

My thanks to all of you, and if I can't buy you a cup of coffee or a beer in the future, that I will "pay it forward" to another ham.

 

73,

 

Eric KA8FAN
